In plain English

In teenagers with obesity and type 2 diabetes, a combination of weekly Mazdutide 6 mg, metformin, and insulin for 36 weeks was linked to a 69.02% drop in triglycerides and a 17.27% drop in LDL cholesterol.

See the scientific wording

In an adolescent with obesity and type 2 diabetes, 36 weeks of weekly Mazdutide 6 mg combined with metformin and insulin was associated with a 69.02% reduction in triglycerides and a 17.27% reduction in LDL cholesterol, suggesting potential benefit for dyslipidemia in this population.

Why this might work

A drug that activates two receptors in the body — one that boosts insulin and reduces hunger, and another that tells the liver to burn fat — causes the liver to stop making excess fat and start burning stored fat instead. This reduces the amount of fat released into the blood, lowering both triglycerides and LDL cholesterol.

    A teen with obesity and diabetes took a weekly shot called Mazdutide along with his other medicines, and after 36 weeks, his bad blood fats dropped a lot — just like the claim said.
